As part of our commitment to fostering academic and professional development, we successfully organized the panel discussion “Breaking Barriers: Women Leading the Future of Finance.” This event brought together distinguished women leaders from the financial sector to share their expertise, experiences, and perspectives with students.


The primary aim of this activity was to inspire and empower students—particularly young women—to pursue careers in finance by providing them with real-world insights, mentorship, and guidance from industry professionals.

  • Career pathways and professional journeys in finance, including banking, investment, fintech, and financial regulation
  • The role and impact of women in leadership positions
  • Challenges faced by women in the financial industry, including gender barriers and stereotypes, along with strategies to overcome them
  • The future of women in finance, with a focus on emerging opportunities in Albania
  • Practical advice for students and young professionals, including skill development and career preparation

Guest Speakers:

  • Klodiana Mitrushi (Peçi), Team Leader of Retail Credit Analysis, Intesa Sanpaolo Bank Headquarters
  • Ana Oketa, Senior Associate of Mergers and Acquisitions Transaction Services, Deloitte Albania

The event provided students with valuable exposure to the realities of the financial sector and encouraged meaningful dialogue on gender inclusion and leadership. Participants benefited from practical advice, gained motivation from the speakers’ success stories, and developed a clearer understanding of career opportunities in finance.
